i am not a bt engineer but used to work in the call centre at warrington and i knnow its fookin steep to go through BT. if i remember rightly several yrs ago it was £49 per socket, but we used to tell people that they could use people advertised in the local paper and they were much cheaper, about £15. these people btw are usually ex BT/ Telewest/ Virgin engineers anyway so they are all usually spot on and garuantee their work.

Sorry not a BT engineer but I am a reseller for BT.
Off the top of my head I would guess £99.
But as already said your best off buying an extension kit from B&Q and doing it yourself as usually the BT guys will just tac a cable all over your home and at least you could take the time to make it look a lot cleaner install.

That excuse is partly true .... What you need is to wire an extension using cat 5e network cable (like phone cable on steroids). Dead easy to do - I did it at my old house and the BB speed in my office (1st floor bedroom - master socket was down in the hall) went up by 500kbps. See Guide to rewiring internal UK phone wiring for details of how it all works, but as long as you have one of the newer type master sockets (with the split front panel) you can do it all yourself and not bother BT. In fact you'll probably do it a lot better.Dave

just get normal 3 pair phone wire clip it round the house to your required destination and remove the master socket (which you should wire out from btw) install it into your required place then joint the wires connected to a and b in the master and copy at the other end. depending where your at id do it for £35 an hour
.. I told them to **** off.
